17. Do raw materials produced overseas for the production of health food need to be registered or recorded?
A: Most ordinary food raw materials can be directly produced overseas without prior trade conditions, and the products can meet Chinese national standards. Part of this depends on the access status of countries that meet the requirements of the assessment review and have traditional trade. Chinese medicinal materials depend on the country and specific product access. New resource food depends on the approval announcement, etc. All in all, the catalogue, category and attributes of health food raw materials are different, and specific products should be determined on a case-by-case basis, while consciously paying attention to relevant agreements, protocols and inspection and quarantine requirements.
